Investing in AIDS in Asia: Transforming the Policy Agenda

This paper discusses key findings from an independent Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)-funded joint Strategic Assessment of HIV in ten Asian countries. It argues that despite high level intentions to intensify regional HIV responses, and growing evidence for what needs to be done, many Asian countries are struggling to refocus their resources and programmes to where it matters most, largely because of a legacy of outdated and inappropriate policy, programming and resourcing.
